Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ferre Eau de Parfum

A truly elegant, creamy iris that manages to be both classic and contemporary. It's a proper lady's scent, a softer, rounder sister to Iris Poudre, though some find it a bit too subtle or even screechy. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but a 'treasure' for others.

Our Verdict - Acqua di Gio Eau de Parfum

A divisive yet iconic 90s classic that either transports you to a blissful summer or leaves you cold. This watery floral, with its unique vodka kick, is a time capsule - love it for its nostalgic charm or dismiss it as dated. Not for everyone, but unforgettable for those who 'get' it.
